I think I will have to say Jet Setter, but it is a hard decision (Concrete Jungle and Eiffel Tower were close in the running). I prefer to use hook and loop b/c my little guy moves so much during diap changes and it is faster!ketter9@hotmail.com

I didn’t really think any of them looked THAT amazing on the computer, but when I saw them in store, I was really excited about how cute they were! (Too bad we were with DH and he KNOWS we don’t need anymore diapers!) I think my favorite is Retail Therapy, because it seems pretty girly. We both liked Free Spirit, too (darn, almost got away with it!), because it’s really gender neutral, but interesting and nice to look at!And I’d be amiss if I didn’t say my HUSBAND prefers the hook and loop and I like snaps. So if I had to pick, I’d be the bigger person and say the hook and loop is better, just because everyone could use the diaper!

My favorite is the Concrete Jungle with snaps because I love how vibrant the red is and I also like how red is a gender neutral color and really is a season neutral color as well! I like the snaps because I don’t have to worry about the putting the aplix on improperly and it rubbing her delicate skin and because it is harder for her to get off!

I love Concrete Jungle. The combination is unexpected, non-matchy-matchy, and would work great for boys or girls. I also love the snaps. I have some flips with snaps, and now plan to buy snaps from now on. So nice and clean, with no lint pick-up! Can’t wait to see another artist collection!! Very exciting!!!

My favorite Artist Series diaper is the Eiffle Tower. I love how it can look formal and elegant but at the same time be good for just running around at home in. I also love black and white together in anything. I prefer snaps so my little ones can’t take their diapers off.

My favorite is retail therapy, with jet setter a close second – I love blues and purples!. If it were my own clothing, I think I would prefer the jet setter colors, but the lighter colors in retail therapy just make it seem a little more “baby-ish” which I like on a baby. Snaps are the way to go at our house, because of laundry ease, longevity, and no scratches on bellies and thighs. Thanks! dave em fuller [no spaces] [at] myfairpoint [dot] [net]

My favorite color combo is Free Spirit because I think the clementine really pops when set against the noodle color! And I’m stocking up on snaps for baby #2 since they last even longer than velcro.lauraclarekelly at hotmail dot com

I really like the jet setter. I thought eiffel tower would be my favorite, but then I saw them in person. The jet setter looks so much better and okay for a boy in person. Loved it! But, have yet to scrounge up the money to buy one Hope to in the future!

My favorite is the Eiffel Tower! I made a custom black & white car seat cover, and my stroller is black too. I love this high contrast between black and white! Snaps are my favorite closure.. I can never seem to remember to fasten laundry tabs with hook & loop!

Its a tough choice. Retail Therapy has the teal that I love, but Jet Setter is a nice deep color. All in all though, I think Free Spirit would have to be my top pick because I can usually match it with anything my son wears!

I enjoy both Snap and Hook & Loop as they each have their own pros in their own circumstance.(mlgillespi (at) gmail (dot) com)

I just got my Artist Series the other day, and put my son in them for the first time today! I love, Love, LOVE the Eiffel Tower on him (in snaps, of course!) I think it looks the most “manly” on my little man It is so trim on him too, which I love. We are the Elemental diaper’s #1 fan at my house…it has been the easiest to get my husband (and the rest of my family for that matter) to cloth diaper!

I love Retail Therapy! We haven’t been able to buy any artist series yet! (I cant justify it since we have way more BG 4.0 cd’s than we even need right now! And we don’t have the money! The snaps are the best hands down!

It depends on my mood. :p Right now, I’m really liking Free Spirit. It’s a nice, cheerful, spring color combo. I’ve found I prefer hook and loop (at least for right now). I can get a much better fit on my 7-week-old son.

Eiffel towel in snaps!! I have a 3 mo old boy that it would be adorable on, and has never had a print diaper! Also I like this color/ print combo because I’d like to have another baby, and this is truly boy/girl neutral AND chic! !

I’ve had a couple as my favorite, keeps switching. I first loved Eiffel Tower bc it looked very posh. Dont see blk dipes often. Now I’m in a tug of war between Concrete Jungle and Free Spirit bc they coordinate better with baby’s clothes. Guilty of doing that, I know. I’m leaning more towards Concrete Jungle tho. Oh and snaps work best for us. Coupon_Mami(at)hotmail(dot)com

I really like the retail therapy colors, its cute enough to be gender neutral and worn anytime, but the colors are light enough to be worn under light colored clothing. I prefer Hook and loop to snaps.

I adore the Free Spirit color combo…because it’s great for a boy or a girl, and I just love the name, “Free Spirit.” BG 4.0 snaps are my absolute favorite diapers, and I’d just love trying one from the artist series!

I’m in love with Concrete Jungle, and suprisingly so is my husband! We love the aplix…mainly for the ease of use for my husbands big huge hands (that can’t seem to snap a snap for the life of him!). sarahanne123(at)hotmail(dot)com

Jet setter with snaps is my favorite because I really like the dark blue, but, of course, it is the one color my c.d. store didn’t have in snaps when I went to buy some. We got Eiffel tower, retail therapy, and concrete jungle which are all adorable, too.

I LOVE the look of the Retail therapy. It’s so calm and peaceful looking. Perfect for those out of control “I’ve been locked up in my house with my baby WAY to long” kind of days. And snaps are a MUST in this house. Otherwise we have a diaperless baby running about!

my favorite is free soirit in snap! i LOVE the clementine color! I really wish you had done a ribbit/grasshopper green diaper! that would be awesome! or maybe even noodle/ribbit or grasshopper/moonbeam those would all be superb! you could even have pink and purple color variations for girls.. maybe the next artist series will have more gender specific color combos? Thanks Jenn!

I completely LOVE Eiffel Tower (black/white) or Retail Therapy (teal/bubble)in Hook and Loop Closures…….If I had to choose one I would go with Retail Therapy…..but they are both to die for as far as I am concerned! Love fun well designed inside and out diapers!!

My favorite is Retail Therapy. I love the purple and teal together! I think it looks really girly on my little girl but also has a way of making the purple not so girly that I would be afraid to put it on my little boy (if I had one). I prefer snaps by a long run!!! The only one I don’t have of the collection is Free Spirit and I would love to see it in person. I think it would be a close second.

Also, I’m a snap-diaper mama whenever I can be—because my toddler is REALLY fond of pulling off hook/loop diapers and running around naked. I woke up with a naked toddler in my bed this morning and stepped out of bed and onto a wet 3.0 on the floor beside the bed where he left it when he climbed up. FUN!

My favorites are the Eiffel Tower and the Concrete Jungle—because I LOVE red and black and those colors are not available in the BG family other than in the AS diapers!

I’m itching to get the Eiffel Tower dipe, but I already have 27 BGs (8 3.0s, 2 organics, and 17 4.0s), and only one kid (a toddler) at the moment. We’re working on getting pregnant again and hubby said that once I’m out of the first trimester I have free-reign to buy 4.0s til my heart’s content COME ON BFP!!!

retail therapy with snaps! Cute colors and definitely not a tacky baby pattern like most cd companies have. If I adjust the snap closure to a size bigger, we’re able to use our BG’s as pull-ups for my 18 month old, who has started potty training! Now to get all of our old 3.0’s converted to snaps!

I absolutely love the Eiffel Tower diaper! Black and white is so classic and never gets old. I love to take diaper pictures when my babies are 6 months old cause that is when they are chubbiest. I like to show off those rolls. I have always had their pictures taken on a black background. I think the Eiffel Tower diaper would look great in these pictures. I like the snaps.

Love the Eiffel Tower with hook and loop! Concrete Jungle runs a close second though! My husband accuses me of wearing nothing but black and white myself so I love having a cute diaper for my daughter to “match”. They both look chic and unlike any diaper out there! tam.wash@yahoo.com

I love the Retail Therapy, because I LOVE everything teal… it looks good on both baby boys and baby girls… My son is 14 m, and we’re expecting #2, not sure what it is, but either way that would look great! I think I like the snaps the best…

I love Concrete Jungle (red/sweet) & Eiffel Tower (black/white). They are classic color combos and irresistible! Well, when I haven’t already gone over my fluff budget for the month. LOL! I LOVE BG’s in snap closures and have been so tempted to buy some. Maybe if I find money while doing laundry today…LMAO! Hope I win some!!

I love concrete jungle. It’s just so frisky which totally suits my little guy perfectly! lol. We’ve been swapping out our velcro for snaps because I just like them better. I’m honestly not sure why, I just do.

Concret Jungle would be my favorite becuase I love red, it’s so vibrant and alive. The retail therapy follows close behind, though. I am loving hook & loop closures right now on my extremely active 13 month old that won’t lay still for a diaper change! sarahscoffeebreak[at]yahoo[dot]com

Love the teal/bubble combination. So cute and perfect for a boy or girl (I happen to have one of each!). I love the snap closures–my 2 year old figured out how to take off the hook and loop around 13 months and I had to get all of our diapers converted.

It’s a toss up between retail therapy and jet setter. I’ve never seen either one in person so it’s a tough choice. Leaning more towards jet setter. And we prefer snaps. But the new hook/loop closure is much improved from the old style.

If I haaad to choose, I’d probably pick Concrete Jungle with snaps! Although Free Spirit is a close second! I know how wonderful the clementine looks on my kiddos, but I don’t have any red! And I think red would look amazing on my son, who will be wearing diapers longer than my girl — I hope! She’s been a sloooow potty trainer. SugarSnapPhoto@gmail.com

We only have one 4.0 Tiny Socialite, and when we had to choose a color, even though it was very hard to make up our minds, we picked out the Retail Therapy. Its a very nice, up beat color, that jives with any piece of clothing. Love the snaps because they are very secure and hard to un-snap for those little curious hands that want to grab and pull everything that comes their way…

Tough decision. I wish I could see them all in person but from your description and having a sweet BG 4.0, I’m picking Concrete Jungle. I can picture the red/sweet combo and definitely think I would love it.

I love the Eiffel Tower (black/white) (with hhok and loop) b/c it looks so cute, but different on my boy and girl twins. On my girl, it seems very chic and grown-up, but on my boy, it makes him seem tough and hip when it peeks out of his jeans.

I haven’t seen any of these in person, but I think I would like Jet Setter best. I just like the two bolder colors, it’s the only one that doesn’t look like it has white in it. I have been back and forth on snaps vs. hook and loop, but I think I’ve determined I prefer snaps. They are just so much better in the wash and my husband definitely prefers them for that reason.

My favorite is Eiffel Tower–it just seems like such a neat upscale print to me! We love the snap closures too. We were able to grab one with hook and loop during the last seconds sale. Right now, I am really craving a Retail Therapy b/c I know we are having another girl and the colors seem feminine too me–I was hesitant to buy one before we knew.

My favorite, by far, is Jet Setter (snaps). I initially thought I would like Eiffel Tower best (and I do like it a lot) but after seeing them in person I just love Jet Setter, the blue and purple combo is great for a boy or a girl and really makes my little guy’s blue eyes pop! I can’t wait until it’s warm enough out for him to get away with wearing a tshirt and diaper so we can really show them off!

I Love them all! Lol. If I had to choose though I would choose the Free Spirit! It is bright and cheery. I love it! Close 2nd would be the eifel tower. It is just a sharp looking color combo! I also love snap colsure…my little guy is getting curious and hasn’t figured out how to get the hook and loop off yet….but I know it’s coming soon!

Our daughter has the jet setter and eiffel tower prints, but I think that the jet setter is my favorite. We prefer the velcro because she doesn’t like to stop long enough for a detailed diaper change, so snaps are kind of a pain for us!

I like them all! If I had to choose one though, I’d have to pick Jet Setter, I think (even though Clementine is one of my FAVORITE colors of all time, I think!). I like that its darker, less likely to show if anything gets on the outside (ointment, etc).

(I like them all!) If I had to pick one favorite, it would be Jet Setter, because I looooove the purple and blue combo. Free Spirit would be a close second, though. We have only used hook/loop so far, but I want to get some in snaps to try now that my youngest is bigger, almost 8 months. I use them on him and also on my 2 1/2 year old, but I think he might do better with the snaps, the hook/loop is definitely tested with him!

Eiffel Tower (black/white) with snaps – I love the contrast… I love how different it is from anything normal-baby… It has a sophistication to it, and yet it’s playful… not to mention great for young developing eyes!

I LOVE the Eiffel tower…black and white is so classis and gender neutral. I just ordered some ecobums with snaps and LOVE them. I was always a hook and loop girl, but snaps are quickly stealing my heart

My favourite is Eiffel Tower–it’s simple and classic. I can pair it with lots of primary colours and it looks great, boy or girl. I also think it is fairly timeless. It won’t look “trendy” or outdated by the time baby outgrows it.

I just ordered some snaps (but haven’t used them yet as #3 won’t arrived until July). So, I have to say that at the moment I love the hook and loop–may change my mind in the future.

My favorite is Retail Therapy. 1. I love the bubble color, I pre-ordered bubble when they were first released and it is still my favorite of all the colors. 2. Paired with the teal it’s calm, a little muted and it can’t be seen under clothes, it has about the same darkness I would say as Twilight-so I love that. I also prefer hook/loop because I have a squirmy-wormy and I like just laying down the tabs and letting him roll over and go! — Kristen

I really like Free Spirit and Eiffel Tower, in snaps. The first one is such a cheery color and the second one is very striking looking. I have a jetsetter seconds diaper that I really like too, can’t afford the others though.

I like Jet Setter, because I think the color combo is pretty and I only own the red and black ones. After trying both closure types, I prefer the snaps since I don’t have to worry about a loose laundry tab leading to snags in my pretty covers. Thank you for asking!

That is a tough decision, but I really like Eiffel Tower! It is the most masculine for my son, and I’ve recently discovered that I love black diapers!I also like the snap closure best! I also love jet setter and retail therapy… but I’m a sucker for blue diapers!rahuss85 at gmail dot com

I like them all, but….my favorite would have to be Jet Setter because I LOVE bright colors! They are all gender neutral which I also love In snaps only…not a big fan of hook and loop! If I won I would like Retail therapy in snaps…only because I just bought a couple Jet Setters!!!! Jamiezickel@yahoo.com

My favorite is Eiffel Tower. I asked my hubby which one he likes and he said “the black one with velcro” is his favorite too! We think its very artsy! But my little diaper model Cally, is asked to fetch a diaper for either her or her newborn baby sister, she always reaches for her only concrete jungle with snaps. When it arrived in the mail she said, “Mommy, I like diapers too”! It was absolutely adorable. She shares my enthusiasm and love for bottom fashions.

They’re all so fun but I think my favorite would be retail therapy in hook and loop. But if I win, I want the Free Spirit in hook and loop because I have a friend who I know would LOVE to have it and could really use it, too!

I have a hard time deciding between Free Spirit, Concret jungle and Eiffel Tower – they’re so snappy and cute and I like that they are gender neutral! – but I guess I’ll go with Free Spirit (snaps!) as my #1.FYI – I dislike Jetsetter – would never buy that color combination regardless of gender. Then again I’ve never seen it in real life so maybe it’s actually quite lovely.

I love the retail therapy. It’s simple, clean and beautiful! I prefer the snap closure diapers we have because I’m pretty sure they’ll last longer without repair, but my husband and daycare provider like the hook & loop. I guess it’s a good thing that I bought a mixture when beginning my stash!

I Love them all. I have the Eiffel Tower and would love to try the CONCRETE JUNGLE with aplix. It is versatile. I have 2 boys and son to be 1 girl in cloth. I’m hoping with the aplix it will fit my 21 mth old. The snap closure doesn’t. I love this print!

I love Retail Therapy because I love teal! And although I do like hook and loop closures, I definitely prefer snaps because I don’t have to replace them and worry about them in the laundry!lauren.allpress at gmail.com

I like the Eiffel Tower (black and white) the best because black isn’t offered in the solid colors and black is always classic. But the Concrete Jungle (red and white) is a close second. I also prefer snaps. I don’t have to worry about velcro sticking to other things in the wash and the snaps hold well while they are on my baby. jljhnsn2@yahoo.com

Eiffel Tower is my first favorite, followed closely by Free Spirit. We LOVE snap closures – had our 3.0s converted to snaps when the aplix wore out, and after 3+ years of use, they’re still going strong.

It’s hard to choose but I really love the eiffel tower (black/white) color combo with snaps! You don’t see as many diapers with those two color combos, mostly more of the pastel colors, I think that is why I like it so much!

I own the Eiffel Tower and Jet Setter already, but of the ones I don’t own, the Concrete Jungle is my favorite – and I MUCH prefer snaps. [Eventually I would love one of each color] My toddler is too smart for aplix now, and my baby will soon figure it out

Retail Therapy is my favorite shade. My son only wears diapers at night now, but my daughter is one year, and in full time cloth. She wears a lot of this shade teal. It would also be a good shade of teal for wearing for the pant-less summers. I also know it would go nice (bloomer style) with many of her skirts and dresses.

We have just switched to buying the snaps. We liked the velcro during her “I don’t want a diaper change” wiggle stage, but snaps are honestly easier to launder.

I think concrete jungle is my favorite- I love the unusual color combination! Since they are opposites on the color wheel, they really pop! I am also amazed you put red and green together, but it doesn’t remind me of Christmas! I also really like eiffel tower and free spirit though! Snaps all the way!!!brownch6athotmaildotcom

Take Two (I forgot about the closures)Retail Therapy with snaps is my favorite. Anytime something has teal in it I’m all in! I also like the dark purple and moonbeam though.beccalynn214 at yahoo dot com

I love the effel tower! Blsck and white go with anything and is completedly gender neitral making it able to be used on multiple kiddos! I prefer hook and loop – so much easier to get a perfect fit! tvpg at aol dot com

My favorite is the Jetsetter, I like that color combo for my little boy but I think all the colors are very gender neutral. I am really into snaps now that son is getting a bit bigger, when he was really little I think hook and loop was a better fit.
